Section 1, The Liquor (Amendment) Rules, 1976

Paragraph (2) of Rule 2 of the Liquor Rules is hereby amended by the substitution for the expression "three years" appearing in line 3 of item (2) thereof, of the expression "two years". MADE this *27th* day of *November, 1975.* Issued under my hand, S. I. KOROMA, *Vice-President and Minister of Finance.* --- *EXPLANATORY NOTE* *(This note is not part of the Rules but is intended to indicate their general purport).* The purpose of the amendment to these Rules is to change the period of aging of Rum from three years to two years in order to conform to International practice and so avoid the risk of loss of revenue which may result from prohibiting the importation of rum stored for the two-year period.
